- Weel, if you have lookes at the PB170 you'll see that there is _no_room_
- for a Ethernet card in the little buggers. However there are people who do
- make Ethernet adaptors that run off the SCSI port of the slotless Macs.
- With an adaptor cable (HDI-30 to C 50, or D 25) you should be able to get
- the PowerBook on the net. Mix in a little MacTCP (about 1.1 version), and
- you are up on TCP/IP. Once on TCP/IP you should not need a bridge to get
- to the Sun.
